Salinas, CA, April 06, 2020 - When California Gov. Gavin Newsom issued a statewide shelter-in-place order, Central Coast YMCA immediately pivoted to emergency programming aimed at supporting its communities, including providing childcare for children of essential workers.
With area schools closed, workers with children need reliable, affordable childcare. YMCA is devoting its facilities and resources to providing childcare, particularly to first responders, health-care staff and agricultural workers, but also to grocery store employees, delivery drivers and anyone else required to work during the pandemic.
At all CCYMCA locations, childcare from qualified staff costs just $35 per day (per child), weekdays from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. An extended-hours pop-up camp — designed for the children of healthcare workers — takes place from 6:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., at a rate of $50 per day (per child). YMCA childcare staff has received training on how to prevent the spread of COVID-19, as per CDC guidelines, kids in emergency childcare are being kept in groups no larger than 10, instructed on correct prevention techniques such as handwashing and sanitation and practice social distancing.
Youth in the Essential Childcare Camps participate in curriculum-based programs; including enrichment activities such as arts & crafts, STEM projects and daily fitness exercises. Homework time is an important part of these planned activities, allowing students to work on distance learning and school assignments. In addition, the Y is providing weekly education packets, ensuring all youth keep their academic skills current and do not fall behind in school. Children also participate daily in our Youth Fit 4 Life, the YMCA’s youth fitness program.
During these unprecedented times, the Central Coast YMCA is committed to serving our communities and those with the most pressing needs.
